Just remember the DNS records have TTLs associated for them and it may
take a while (on the order of a day) for cached records to expire.
Even for planned changes where you can lower the TTLs, some ISPs don't
honor the TTLs and will cache them for on the order of a day anyway.

Hi,

Is there perhpas a misconfigured mx-entry in your dns-entry?

Also, check /var/log/maillog, if you find mails you haven't potentialle received.
Perhaps, mails are still in mailq?

Or, do you have a spamfilter that does to much work? ;)

Roger
